RTL Deutschland Posts Strongest H1 in RTL+ History as Sky Integration Begins

RTL Deutschland's first-half 2026 results show RTL+ VOD usage up 6.5% year-on-year to 356.32 million hours and streaming reach up 4.8% to 10.69 million people, the first full reporting period since the Sky Deutschland acquisition closed on June 1. Combined TV and digital reach hit 68.92 million people, though RTL+ remains a clear number two to Amazon Prime Video in the key 14-49 streaming demo.

Key takeaway: The Sky Deutschland deal is starting to show up in RTL+'s numbers, but closing the gap with Amazon Prime Video in Germany will take more than one integration quarter.
